SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Throughout the greater portion of last week our Contem. poraries in the Downing-street interest fatigued themselves and amused the public with scenes of triumph over the Con servative party, forasmuch as three or four Members of Par liament who in general support Sir Robert Peel had thought proper to throw eta opinions of their own relatively to tire pro po ;ed amount of the Irish municipal franchise. These person ages introduced their paeans by a celebration of the absence of Sir Robert Peel from the House .if Commons on Monday, the 18th inst., and a learned narrative—or description rather—of the ceuse of that phenomenon. The Treasury prints assured their readers that the Right Hen. Member for Tamworth sat " at home in a retired corner of his house, moping," discon solate, in solitary mortification ; and for what ? Because in his wizar.l prcee:ence be (Sir Robert) had anticipated that Lord Eliot and one or two other Conservatives, who sosr e nights before had wallted out of the House without voting pro or con. upon the franchise question, or voted against the great Conservative body, were about to put on record a fresh, and therefore superfluous, proof of their rely ase from the bonds of political,co-operation, by making what are sometimes called " in elependent" speeehee of both the above topics in their turn. We have heard of "being alone in a crowd," and it is to be suspected that if the Conservative leader was consigned to anything like solitude ou the above evening, it was that very species of thickly-peopled solitude. If Sir Robert Peel passed the evening at home, it must have been that he was made to feel himself " et home" by the Reyal lady in whose house and presence his Monday evening was assuredly spent. In short, the scene of moping mortificathsn to which the unhappy Baronet thee condemned himself was neither more nor less that the most brilliant and exhilarating ball of the season, givea by her Majesty in the Palace of Pimlico on the anni versary of the battle of Waterloo, to which not only the Duke of Wellington and his whole company of 76 gallant officers were, by the command of Queen Victoria, graciously and ex pressly summoned, but all the foreigners of official rank and station now in the metropolis, with all the leading personages of both parties in the State, and high among the litter class the 0 disconsolate" Member for Tamworth. So much for fabri cation the first. Now for the second. An absurd and despicable clatter has been made by certain Ministerial Journals concern ing what took place in the Committee on the Irish Municipal Bill during the absence of Sir Robert Peel at the above en tertainment, when Messrs. Lascelles, Miles, and Pusey sought pecasion to state their unwillingness to require a qualification, which, though nominally no more than 101., might have the effect of raising the franchieo through the instrumentality of the Poor-law rating clause to a higher amount than to/. Mr. Lascelles did not support the 51. qualification proposed by her Majesty's Ministers; nor in voting against Sir Robert Peel on the former night had he objected to a bona fide 10/. fran chise, but to a nominal 101., which, as calculated by a rating process, would amount to more than 10/. He declared that " the difference between the two sides of the House was only as to the mode in whieh they should ascertain the 101. franchise." Now, what said Sir Robert Peel him self on the 11th instant, with Sir William Follett for his supporter? " Show me a mode of testing the 101. quali fication which shall insure the enjoyment of the franchise to the man possessing a house of 10/. value, though of not a farthing higher value than 10/., and I will most willingly ac cept that test." Where, then, is the difference in principle or purpose between Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Lascelles, after this explanation of his sentiments by the latter gentleman ? We call upon any honest and truth-telling man to point out such a difference. So Mr. Miles's objection went merely to the excess above 101 to which the ordinary mode of rating might raise the qualification above that nominal sum, and to the discordant standards of value which might thence be esta blished among the towns of Ireland. Mr. Miles, any more than Mr. Lascelles, did not say that 10/. was too high a qua lification. He objected to one higher than 101., higher than that wherewith Sir Robert Peel had pledged himself to be con tent and satisfied. Mr. Pusey confined himself to an ex pression of his earnest wish that the question should be spee dily settled, in which we heartily coincide. Our general respect, nevertheless, for Mr. Pusey's judgment—howe ver sound it may be on that point—was sorely shaken by the former heresy of the Hon. Member in acceding to the appropriation cheese, which the nation with one voice now cries out against, and which practically has long since been abandoned by the Whigs themselves. We should like to know, were it for bare curiosity, by what process those cunning alchymiets, the Radical newswriters can extract subject for re joicing from any materials afforded them by the above three gentlemen. It might, perhaps, have been more circumspect, and less open to mierepresentotion, had they recollected the ready tricks and devices to the employment of which all men who profess adherence to a party expose, not themselves atone, but the interests of that party, when they act even with the fairest and most upright views, but without a previous and well-understood concert ripen questious of critical concern. As for Lord Eliot's precedure in the above instance, considered with reference to the obligations of party, and to those extensive na tional interests which depend for their promotion or security on the united and cordial efforts of all who take service in the same great cause to carry out the propositions of their leaders—consi dered in that respect, we perhaps might have wished that the Noble Lord had been satisfied with the consciousness of a " free-will" which nobody was inclined to question, and had supported by his vote the sentiments which those who know him are persuadeci that he, in substance, entertains upon this important measure. The real misconstructions, and irr,ulting, because hypocritical, compliments, passed by the Whigs upon Lord Eliot's " candour. liberality," &c., coupled as they were with loud rejoicings at tine proof " thins insisted on by such sangUine partisans of what they termed " discord in the Con servative camp," must suffice to show men of open and ingenu ous character what risks they run when vital questioee arc at stake by attempting any other than the mod - , consistent, resolute, and decided course of political action. If, however, the Radical enemy builds upon such rare arid incidental occurrences as groueds of hope that even the shadow of serious differenceexists among ;Pers i l; 'sized members of the Conservative party open any env question wherein the principles of constitutional mo narchy and of tur'eulent democracy, of stability and move ment, of Protestantism arid Popery, are involved, they are blockheads for their pains. But divisien3 are not quite over for the session, so nous verrons. Our own persuaeion, we rejoice to say, i 4 still as strong as ever, and the more strong fer what happened within the last few days, that the House of Lords will adopt a wise remedial policy, repairing what ever mischiefs may have arisen in the other House of Parlia ment, and so adjusting the rating provisions of the Poor Law to the exigencies of the municipal franchise as, in the words, and according to the recommendation of Lord Juhn Russell " greatly to lesson the existing dijficulties." The Peers must be sensible, as are the Conservatives of the other House, of :what inestimable value it would be to all our higher and mere enduring interests as a people, that these Irish measures should (ince and finally become the law of the lend. Times. We must remind Liberal Members of the [louse of Com mons that the third r:ading of the Irish Nlunicipil Bill takes place to-Mzlit. It is understood that the Tor . es meal to di vide against it. and that they con't on being able to take their opponents by surprise. Under such :ircumstanees, evi ry Li teral Member will see the necessity of using at his poet at an early hour, as the division is likely to eonie on soon. We must, therefore. urge all the supporters of Government to be constant in their attendance 0-night, that this Tory scheme may be frustr-tea. --:411.-rning Chronicle. The postponed discussion on the Sugar Daties stand; f r this evening. Having repeatedly brought the sehject under public notice, we nee I now go through details witioh have been already set forth in our columns during the last few weeks. But it may be necessary to recall to the recollection of the public the peculiar insition of a question affecting the interests of the people of Gl...at Briton, to the extent of upsards of three millions of 'annual taxation, extracted front their pocke's in the prices of a single areiele of daily consumption, fer the sole encouragement of that alive labour, under the false pretence of getting rid of h Lich, a few years ago, twenty millions sterling were paid by way of compensa tion—a fact which should not be lost sight of, nor for a mo ment forgotten, until negro slavery, in whatever shape, and under whatever name, be utterly and for ever abolished. Be sides the annual taxation which the country pays as a premium on slave-labour, which, without such artificial stimulus, is the least profitable of all labour, we muse remind the public that fraud is brought in to the aid of copidits ; and, as we formerly proved. large boanty is paid, net co famine, but under the deceptive pretext of a drawback. The positive annual and average amount of that dishonestly obtained bounty we have shown to b.., up,vards of 360.000/. (Mr. Clay states that in the last year it amounted to 500,0001.) paid ow of the Exchequer under the name of a drawback upon refined sugar for ex portation ; the effect of which is, by forcing upon the continental markets large quantities of sugar, tly.3 pro duce of our West Indian colonies, to raise its price at home far beyond what can be measured by the actual amount of bounty peid, while that enhancement of the price circumscribes the consumption of the article at borne, in a great degree prohibiting the uae of what has be come almost a necessary of life to the poorer classes of society. Who are the great supporters of this system of fiscal oppres sion and fraud? Those very liberal Ministers and professed free traders,' Mr. Spring Rice and Mr. Poulett Thomson ! Tiley have not only exerted themselves to the utmost of their small abilities and large cunning to perpetuate th's grievance as they did in endeavouring to give a false view of the motion of Mr. Pease the other day ; but they have recourse to Inl3 statements and subterfuges worthy of a system of chicanery and fraud. We exposed some of their trickery and deceptive statements the other dly, in reference to the motion to which we have just now alluded. Finding such clumsy artifices, which were resorted fit fur the purpose of evading the fultilmeent of promises formerly made by themselves, that in this very year an alteration of the drawback system should take place, were unavail ing, they propose to make concession to the just demands of the public in their new Sugar Bill, but even this late and re luctant concession is tainted with dishonesty. The Govern ment having already admitted that a large bounty is concealel in the drawback upon refined sugars exported, it is difficult to comprehend why the Chancellor of the Exchequer should wish to extend the opportunity of perpetrating this fraud, not only upon the revenue directly in the positive 1035, but also indirectly through excessive price affecting the consumption with the public, beyond the period which the act of P4rlia meta .prescribes for its termination—viz , the sth of July. Mr. P. Thomson, on Friday evening last, notified to the House that Government intended to introduce into the Sugar Duties Bill that the proposed alteration should not take effect until the 10th of October next, speaking (and of this dishonesty we complain) as if no previous notice had been given to sugar growers and to sugar dealers of all surto, that the Ministers intended to make a reduction of whatever the bounty might be, which, it will be recollected both the Chanceitor of the Exchequer and Mr. J', Th9mt9n calulated, or pretended to calculate, at 10s. 10d. per cwt , though it is really 17s. per cwt. This trick which, no doubt, was supposed to be a very ingenious one by its contrivers, is really too pal pable and absurd to deceive even the mind of a child. At about this period last year Mr. P. Thomson declared to the House that an alteration in the drawback, which would have the effect of depriving the slave-masters of the present bounty, ,hould be made in 1838. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has reiterated the same thing several times since, and all parties applying for information en this point at the Board of Trade have been told that there would be a reduction of several shillings per cwt. on the sugar bounties from the sth of July next. Yet,ibecause the apprenticed slave owners and the suger refiners—the parties who have, at the cost of the public, been dividing the spoil between them, ask upon some groundless and unreal pretext an extension of time, in order that they may dip their hands deeper in our pockets, already lightened of many millions of pounds sterling by their adroit and exceedingly refined tactics, is contented to allow this work of manifest plundee ( fur it has been too much exposed to be any longer a deception) to be carried on in full swing for another extra three months beyond the sth of July. N o one knows better than Mr. P. Thomson does, or, at least, ought to know, that the continuance of the present fraudulent system for a period of a quarter of a year longer than the time fixed by the existing Act, will have the injurious effect to the public of inducing the sugar refiners to refine and export in the extra three months as much sugar as, under the ordinary circumstances, would be shipped in six —thereby enabling the parties in terested to dispose of a quantity of sugar in the foreign market exceeding the actual surplus at home, and bringing into alarm ing activity all the energies of the sugar monopoly with its at tendant train of high prices —yes, the President of the Board of Trade, unless in a state of owl-like somnolency, he reposes upon his official perch as tranquilly as Lord Glenelg, with his eyes wide open to the frauds that are practised under the pre sent system, and the proofe of the spoliation upon the public in his hands, consents that the people shall be wantonly plun dered for the benefit of the apprenticed slave-owners for an other three months ! Is this what that erudite political econo mists means by " permitting the people's money to fructify in their pockets?" If so, it is certainly a most extraordinary mode of " reducing his fructify ing " theory into practice ! We trust we have done something towards enlightening not only the public mind, but that of the House of Commons on this important question. The House must surely now per ceive the drift of the proposed unreasonable and impolitic delay in eradicating a system rooted in fraud, and will, we trust, in terpose to prevent the Government from being a successful accomplice to the continuance of this iniquity which plunders the public for the benefit of those who rob humanity of its dearest rights !—Morning Herald. The manufacture of Whig-Radical Peers seems to be rather a difficult process, if we may judge from the fact that the new Peers to he created in honour of her Majesty's Coronation, and who of course must take part in that solemnity three days hence, are not only yet unmade, but that the materials out of which they are to be manufactured are yet so far as appears unselected. If the makers of robes and coronets be not more alert in their trade than the makers of Peers seem to be the new nobility of the coronation must needs appear at that cere monial either in borrowed garb or without the costume befit ting their recent elevation. The Ministerial journals have for many months past delighted themselves in nothing so much as in talking of the creation of Peers on the occasion of her Ma jesty's Coronation ; yet now that we are on the very eve of that solemnity their patrons seem to be in the uncomfortable situation of not knowing whom to create. We shall be much surprised if, indeed, the Coronation Peerages do not invito the sarcasm, " parturient montes," Ecc., or if the oppor tunity of creating them upon which the partisans of the Administration have calculated so confidently as a source of renovated strength prove any other than a new cause of perplexity and weakness. The elevation to the Peerage of Members of the House of Cemmons is a thing not to be thought of, for Ministers have no votes to spare in that assembly, and are painfully conscious that few men of their party can vacate their seats without the fearful risk of being immediately replaced by Conservatives. If they resort to the landed gentry who support Whig-Radical prin ciples in their respective counties, they open the dour to a multitude of claims of equal invalidity, and by conferring un merited honour upon a few friends convert a whole host of ambitious, jealous, disappointed partisans, into inveterate foes. In these embarrassing circumstances what are the unfortunate Ministers of the Crown to do ? They must set up for the oc casion some test of honour and of worth, to which the preten sions of all who are willing to accept dignity at their hands may easily be referred. And if we may judge from the names most confidently mentioned as those of the new Peers, the Whig-Radical test of honour and of worth is rejection by a county constituency. The Coronation Peers, it is now gene rally understood, will be few in number, and will consist chiefly, if not altogether, of persons who can claim the merit and advantage of having been unsuccessful candidates at county elections.—Morning Post. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HO USE OF COMMONS, JUNE 23. (Continued from cur First Edition of Saturday.) PRISONS BILL. Mr. DARBY understood that the reason why the separate system had failed in Glasgow was, that the terms of imprisonment w. re too short ; whereas it worked well in Philadelphia, because in that city no person could be imprisoned for a shorter term than one year. The Bill, therefore, seem ed to him to introduce into this country a system which, with the present state of the law, could not be successful. When the 43th clause came under discussion he would inquire of the Noble Lord whether it VP SW intended to form one uniform set anti. for the whole country ? Lord J. RUSSELL considered it desirable to promote equality In prison discipline. Ile had• no objection to the striking out the words " any person shall be separately confined, &c.," and the insertion of these words " with due regard to the prop:r supervision of the prisoner, &c." The clause was then agreed to. On clause 14 being proposed, which empowers the Secretary of State to make rule.• and regulations, Mr. GO LrLBUIt'S objected to the clause, as it went to overthrow the power of the magistrates in making rules and regulations. Mr. HA WES thought it desirable than a uniform punishment for the same offences should exist throughout the country, hut how could they get magic rates to agree on one set of rules ? He did not see how the same punishment could be uniformly administered, unless there was a power to enforce uniformity of regulation. fie trusted the House would retain the clause. Even if the Secretary of State had ten times the power he possessed under the clause, he cou'd never hope to carry his regulations into effect against the wishes of the magistracy of the English counties, unless he was able to con. ♦ince them and the public generally of their efficacy and expediency. After a few observations from Mr. E,tcourt, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Hodgi3f., and Mr. Darby, the clause was struck out. On clause 15 being proposed, Mr. GIBSON advocated the system of prisoners being rewstrded by giving them some little place of trust in the prison —it would be a means of distinguishing those who were well conducted After a short conversation between Mr. Hl•wes, Mr. Esvcouur, and Mr. Dauai•, Lord J. RUSSELL said that it might accidentally occur that a pri. saner could be employed as a wardsmati or monitor; but generally that it coald not be done without placing one prisoner in a better situation than others wh r were under the same sentence and for the same crime. Mr. SLA NEY hoped that those gentlemen who were not opposed to expending large sums of money to increase the prospect of reformation in prisons would not in future be opposed to the grant of public money, for giving the poor such an education as would prevent them from com mitting crime. Alter a few words from Mr. D•fBY and Mr. ESTCOURT, the elaus was then agreed to. Clauses up to 9.2 were, after a few verbal amendments, agreed to. On clause 23 being read Mr. ESTCOUItT objected to the clanse. He wished an alterat'on to be male, which would empower one Justice of the Peace insteld 01 two to eaininit with hard labour. The clause as amend,l was agreed to. The remaining clauses and preamble were then agreed to without Vati n. The Howse then resumed, and Mr. BRUNAL brought up the Report. The Kingstown and Dublin Harbour Bill was read a third time and passed on theinotion of Lord MORPETIL Lord MORPET El moved the bringing up of the Report of the Party Proce stone (Ireland) Bill. C o l one l pERCEV AL did not intend to oppose tie bringing up of the Report, but he trusted that the Government would carry the provisions of the Act into fair and impartial execution. He had witnessed proces ,ions coming fully within the meaning of the words of the Act, where 110 notice had been taken of them. Lord MORPEIII thanked the Hon. and Gallant Member for the spirit in which he had spoken of this Bill, and assured him that it was fuliy intended to meet the processions of both parties. Mr. Serjeant JACKSON hop.sil the present law would be put in forc_ impartially—lie had no hesitation in saying that the old law had not, though lie did not charge the Noble Lord with it. He called upon the Government to introduce a law to prevent meetings in Ireland, at:ended by 40,000 or 50,000 persons which must strike dread and terror into the minds of p aceable persons. The Report was then brought up and ordered to be engrossed. ARMS (IRELAND) BILL. The Order of the Day for going into committee on the Arms (Ireland) Bill was discharged, Lord MORPETH stating that he intended to bring in a new Bill on this subject. VAGRANT ACT. On the mor ion of Mr. ESTCOURT the Vagrant Act Amendment Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Saturday next, The Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill (second reading) was p.stponed to Monday. The House then adjourned at Haltpast Four o'Clook. JOHN WA L TER CA VEN IHS H.—A person de cently dress d, about 9.5 years of age, and who said to a fellow passenger with whom he came outside the coach from Bridgewater to this town, that his name was John Walter Cavendish, and that he was an engraver from London, arrived in this town from London by the Bristol Defiance coach on Friday evening. During his progress from Bridgewater he evinced extraordinary excitement, and more that once cried out " Mur. der I" On alighting at the Crown Inn he requested to be shown to a bed room, and such was his extreme nervousness, that he objected going into it unless accompanied by Mr. Dyer the landlord. When he got into the rosin be looked under the bed and searched every part of it. On Saturday, soon after the arrival of the post, he requ .-sted the perusal of a London newspaper, in wisieh were some particulars of the letter sent to the magistrates at the police offica, under the name of John Walter Cs. yeudish; immediately on the perusal of which, although he had previ. ously intimated his intention of spending a few days in Taunton, under the name of" John Walters," he abruptly left the inn by the Bath coach inside, for Exeter.— Taunto,t artrier.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 30.—The Persian messengers ar rived here on the 27th instant With despatches from the Bri tish Ambassador, who has safely reachnd Herat, and letters from Tabriz of May 5. The Schah had made no progress, and the besieged were well off and in high spirits, continuing to receive daily supplies through the two gates yet in their pos,ession. The Persian army is said to be ill provisioned and worse paid, but the Schah more obstinately bent than ever on reducing the place. The Russian Ambassador, Ge neral Sitnonitch, had arrived at the camp, and his influence Over the Schah's mind is so powerful, that it will be an easy matter for him to counteract Mr. M'Ncill's intentions. Sup plies and fresh troops are daily being sent from Tabriz and other places to the camp. It was reported that the Schah had shortly after Mr. NPNeill's arrival succeeded in investing the place more completely than he had previously been able to do, but that the Ileratters made so vigorous a sally as to oblige the Persians, after considerable loss, to abandon the new positions they had occupied. Letters from Beyrout of the 13th instant contain statements that the plague had made its appearance in various points of Syria, and was raging with intensity at Jerusalem and Jaffa. The steampacket from Alexandria did net bring, as the Turkish Government had been lel to fancy, any portion of the arrears of the tribute due by Mehemet Ali. Letters from Cairo and Alexandria state, that not only every functionary in the employ of the Pasha, but Mehemet Ali himself, have of late b en PxPressing themselves in the most indignant terms against the Porte, openly attributing the insurrection of the Druscs to the machinations of her agents, and their obstinate resistance to the supplies and reinforcements secretly sent them by the Pasha of Bagdad. Several among the principal men of Damascus, and other Syrian cities, accuse I of intelligence with the Porte's emissaries, had been sent for trial to Egypt, and, on their arrival at Alexandria, thrown into prison. The general impression throughout Egypt is that Mehemet Ali on the eve of openly declaring war against the Sultan. Th "ltule fleet has been equipped, and would already be out at sea, had not its departure been delayed in consequence of the 4 i'e°very of a spirit of mutiny among the crews. During the n'ght of the 20th inst. a fire broke out on board one of the largest line-of battle ships of the Pasha's fleet, and in the spat.! of a few hours reduced it to ashes. The military preparations On the part of the Porte, which for some weeks had been re laxing, have lately been resumed with fresh activity. A body of 10 000 Albanians, irregular infantry, quartered at Monastir Elhassan, has been ordered to cross from Gallipoli into Asia Minor,,and the Spkbis throughout Roumelia and Bosnia to !march in the same direction. Mustafa Pasha, of Joanina and Salonica, is shortly expected in the capital. The fleet, it is reported, is to sail for the Mediterranean on the Ioth of June. Nothing short of the most decisive measures on the part of the European Powers interested in the preservation of the Turkish empire can now avert the explosion of the appalling storm they have suffered to gather over it. EXETER-WEDNESD A Y. The affairs of the old Corporation have occupied the attention of our good citizens, more or less, ever b ince the Municip..l Reform Act came into operation ; and I regret to say that there appears to be no imme• diate prospect of peace. The grand job to which public attention has been directed, was the extension of the old Canal, for which Mr. Green, a resident engineer, h a d given an estimate of 5,0001.; he subsequently increased the esti. mate for the work to 12,0001., and afterwards to 15,0001., but the ulti mate actual cost was 103,000/. !!! The work was done in the most un. business -like manner, though the full revelation of the whole enormity did not come out till the old body was defunct, and the new one had step ped into possession of all their bankrupt estates and embarrassments. The subject of the Canal became a matter of strict investigation, and it was proved that no d etailed estimates could be produced, and it was doubted whether any had ever been made of the work. It was also proved that there were no vouchers nor accounts worthy of the name, and that the old body had never passed the Treasurer's account, although the work had been open for some years before their official death. It was also proved, that the most reckless system had been pursued in the management of the work. The exca vators were generally paid day-work, and three years after the death of a captain of a gang of excavators, a bill for 86,000 days' work was paid to his executrix by the treasorer of the work. This account of 86,000 days was made up and passed, without any intelligible account being ren dered of the transaction, and th e man ' s circumstances were such that it has been doubted whether he had ever a spare 104 note in his life. The Committee appointed by the new Corporation to investigate the accounts made the fullest inquiry into all the facts, and alter an elaborate investigation into the whole circumstances were enabled to come to nu satisfactory termination of their labours. The Council finally resolved that some eminent engineer should be brought down from London to ascertain tho cost of measuring and es timating the quantity and value of the work actually done, so that the correctness of the amount charged might be as nearly ascertained as possible. Mr. Cubitt was engaged f or thi s wor k . Ile came to Exeter, walked d own the canal on ono slde and up the other, and came to the conelusion that the work, though faulty, in various respects, was worth the money expended on i t, and adding that it wallid cost a good 04 o f money to measitro and ', a l oft it , lett without seeing any member of the Town Council, and sent down a report from London to the effect stated. But the question asked of Air, Cubitt waste" What will you measure, survey, and valtto the lyerk dope to our Canal for ?" This was what he was asked to come down from London to decide, and his report is con sidered to be a tacit refusal to undertake the task, and the people aTe rigterminfel to have it dghe by :samenon ot4, The Bavarian Minister of State, Count IVlaximilia,ll de -499ttiells,diefl at Nllnjeti oti the pi,gl:4 4' the W I intitanr. lie was 1;" lth ;'car, p4ha34 acted a conspicuous part in the affairs of i' ) Wyecn 1712 and 1817.

The Lours CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case this morning. Ills Lordship was clearly of opinion that the Vice-Chancellor came to a right conclusion in refusing the injunction. The question raised by this bill was a serious question. The practice of extracting cases and parts of cases from the books of reports has gone on fir years, and the plaintiffs acquiesced in it ; whether that was matter of contract between them and authors of books into which such cases were copied, does not appear. The only question for the Court now was, whether It would interfere by injunction before the plaintiff's established their legal title. Under ell circumstances, it was impossible for the Court to proceed by injunction. Ills Lordship did not mean to say that the plaintiff's had not a legal right ; but, assuming they had a legal right, this Court could not, in these circumstances, exercise its equitable jurisdiction until they had established that right at law. Being of opinion that the Vice-Chancellor was right, his Lordship dismissed the appeal with costs, leaving it open to the plaintiff's to bring their action at law for infringement of their copyright. N 5 200 20) 565 FOLEY V. OILL. His Loansutr also gave judgment on a point of pleading, argued a few days ago, in this case, on appeal from the Vice-Chancellor, and dis missed the appeal. STANLEY V. TIIE CHESTER AND BERKENHEAD RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. JAcou was heard in support of a demurrer put in by the defend ant's bill, which prayed a specific performance of a c,ntract to pay the plaintiff 9.0,000/. for some acres of his land, which a former company, whose contracts were said to be adopted by the defendants, agreed to pay. The Vice-Chancellor refused to allow the demurrer, and this was an appeal from his Honour's decision. After hearing all the facts of the case, The LORD-CHANCELLOR disallowed the demurrer, and confirmed the Vice-Chancellor's judgment with costs. ROLL'S COURT, Joys 23. ANTRAM V. MILLER. This was a suit for the recovery of 2,500/. stock, which had been illegally parted with by the trustees of a life estate, and which was now sought to be recovered from the executor of the trustee deceased. On the marriage of Mr. Richard Antrarn, of Dorchester, in 1794, the sum of 2,600/. three per cent., and of 1,0001. five per cent. stocks, were settled on him, his wife, and children, with a proviso that if either survived and married again, that one moiety of the fund should be divided amongst the children. Mrs. Antram died in 1815, and her husband contracted a secoud marriage in 1818, when the fund would have become payable to the children, the two plaintiffs, but was not paid to them. In 1820 Mr. Miller sold out the 2,6001. stock, and in 1823 he died, leaving a considerable estate, and never having replaced the trust fund. In 1828, Mr. Richard Antram, sen., died. Lord LANGDALE, after hearing Counsel, decreed that the funds should be restored, with interest, from 1823, together with the costs of the suit, out of the assets of Mr. Miller, the trustee. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, JUNE 23. THE QUEEN V. ANSDELL, DEANE, SLADE, AND OTHERS. This case was resumed this morning. The letters of administration granted to Isaac Joseph Isaacs, and the letters of administration granted on his death, and similar documents, were put in, to show that the family had repeatedly acted on the assumed ground of the legitimacy of Isaac Joseph Isaacs. On the distribution of the property of an uncle Isaac Joseph Isaacs paid duty as a lawful son of the brother of the deceased, and the Stamp-Office received such duty from him without objection. This evidence was given, and some letiers of Benjamin, the elder brother of Joseph Isaacs, and the first tenant for life of the property, written to Isaac Joseph Isaacs, were also produced, with the view to show that in a great many family transactions Isaac Joseph Isaacs had been treated as legitimate. Sir F. POLLOCK (in the absence of the Attorney-General) replied upon the whole case. He contended that the question which the Jury had to decide was, not whether one or other of the two brothers was le. gitimate, but whether this charge of:conspiracy had been made out. The Learned Counsel went at great length into the evidence, and then sub mitted that the case against all the defendants had been fully made out, and that the Jury had no alternative but to pronounce a conviction. Lord DENMAN summed up the case, and The Jury returned a verdict, finding that Henry Gulley Isaac was legitimate : that Dean and Slade were Guilty, and that the other defen dants fete Not Guilty. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jura 23. HOWELL V. BRODIE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff; who was a builder, to re. cover from the defendant a sum of 3,0001., which he alleged to be due to him for work and labour, and materials supplied. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. STORR ♦ND OTHERS V. NORTON. The plaintiffs in this case are jewellers, residing in Old Bond-street, and have brought the present action to recover from the defendant the balance of 259/. for articles supplied to Mr. and Mrs. Norton from 1833 to 1837. Of this sum defendant has paid at one period 1291., and at another 28/., into Coart, and subsequently tendered part of the articles supplied to himself to Messrs. Storr and Mortimer, at a valuation, which, on the part of that firm, were declined. Mr. KELLY, on the part of the defendant, said that as Mr. Norton had no object in defending this action but to do strict justice to all parties, he thought the question of amount might be settled out of Court. After some deliberation, this arrangement was acquiesced in by Mr. Sergeant Wilde, with the concurrence of his Lordship, and a verdict for the plaintiff' was taken, subject to reference. ADMIRALTY COURT, JuNi: 23. THE MONARCII—COLLIMON. This is a suit promoted by the owners of a fishing smack, the Success, against the owners of the Hull steamer, the Monarch, for compensation for the total loss of the smack, occasioned by a collision which occurred between the two on the tld of October last, off Newap Light. The Trinity Masters having expressed their decided belief that there was equal blame on both sides, the Court decided that the loss must be apportioned between them, each party paying their own costs, and, to ascertain its amount, referred to the Registrar and merchants. SHERIFFS' COURT, RED laox-sguARE, JUNE 23. CROSS V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES It A ILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Cross was a clothier and slopseller, at 49, High-street, and his house was wanted for the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway. He had been twenty-two years in his house, of which he held one-fourth of the freehold. His business produced a clear income of '7291. a year profit; his stock was valued at 9001., by the removal of which he should lose thirty-three per cent. on the value. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff as follows :—Value of the freehold, 0,000/. ; good will, 8751. ; fixtures, 1251.: total, 3,0001. ASSASSINATION of a NON-COMMIS SIONED OFFICER at HAMPTON COURT. On the evening of Thursday last an occurrence of a most lamentable nature took place at Hampton Court Palace. It appears that between seven and eight o'clock on the above evening, it being discovered that one of the privates of the 12th Royal Lancers (two troops of which re giment have for some time been quartered at Hampton Court Barracks) named John Rickey, had neglected his duty and was in a state of intoxi cation, the serjeant of the troop to which he belonged, named James Hamilton, was ordered to call out the guard file and take him under arrest. On Rickey ascertaining their object, he fled, and took refuge under the cloisters of the Palace, and on the file entering the passage in which he was standing, close to the door of Sir Horace Seymour's apartments, he presented two loaded pistols at Sergeant Hamilton, and a private, named Kelly, one of the guard. That which was presented at the Sergeant was discharged before he could be seized ; but the other, fortunately, flashed in the pan. The ball from the former entered the body of Hamilton above the abdomen, and passing out at his back, inflicted a wound through which the smaller intestines protruded, arid from the effects of which the unfortunate man, who was immediately conveyed to the Hospital Infirmary, ex pired on Friday morning. Rickey was instantly secured and lodged in safe confinement for the night. On Friday afternoon ho was com mitted to the New Prison, Clerken well, to await the Coroner's Inquest. THE INQUEST' ON TILE BODY. Saturdiy forenoon, at eleven o'clock, Frederick J. Manning, Esq., the Coroner for the precincts and .verge of her Majesty's Palaces, ar rived at Hampton Court, and immediaiately issued his. precept for the summoning of a jury at the Icia;'s Arms Inn. The Jury, after hearing evidence, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against John Rickey. In these times, when the march of intellect has progressed to such an extent that, in imitation of the French, every one must have his newspaper or his magazine, the annourseinent of a new and cheap periodical is likely to create a considerable sensation ; espe cially when we observe that " Sherwood's Monthly Miscellany," to which we allude, is to contain as much Letter press for Eighteen pence as the old.e.itablished magazines at Half-a-Crown. This is a pout de. Dileratuni ; and if we add to the attraction Two Steel Engravings by Alfred Crowquill, the facetious rival of George Cruikshank, together with the assistance of the most eminent literary characters of the day, we may venture to prophecy that " Sherwood's Monthly Miscellany" will experience that success which the spirited publishers and conductors of the work so eminently deserve. We understand that the First Number will b‘., published on the thirty-first of July.

CI 11CASSIA.—At a time like the present,, when the subject of the aggressions of Russia is daily becoming more and more a topic of the greatest importance to all parties, the appearance of Mr. Spencer's new Travels in the Western Caucasus, being the completion of his work on " Circassia," cannot but be looked on with the greatest interest. In these volumes the author has laid open to the world the ambitious plans of Russia, her unjust invasion of the Circassians, and various other facts connected with the welfare of this bravo people. The present work supplies several omissions in the former volumes necessary to illustrate the character of the war, together with the manners and customs of the inhabitants of the Western Caucasus. It also contains an account of Mr. Spencer's tour homeward through some of the most interesting countries on the Black Sea to Constantinople, and from thence through Bulgaria, Moldavia, Gallicia, Silesia, &c. MR. ROEBUCK.—W e see in the Glasgow Chro nicle the report of a speech made on Monday evening, at the New Sr. cession Church, by this Gentleman, at a meeting composed of a Com mittee of his supporters. In referuree to his journeying to Glasgow, he said that in addition to the announcements contained in the newspapers of a vacancy in the representation of Glasgow, he had it from th e hi g h est authority that a vacancy would occur--of this strange affair something strange would be known hereafter.

The Cornwallis has been live times at Halifax since she has been on her present station. The Diligence naval transport arrived yesterday from the westward, with stores, and came into harbour to-day. The Gipsy tender arrived on Tuesday from Sheerness with supernumeraries, and returned oa Thursday with newly-entered men. PROMOTIONS &ND APPOINTMENN.—Lieut.

A meeting was held on Tuesday at the George Hotel, by the Mate t and attended by other Officers of her Majesty's S qua d ron, s tationed this port, upon the subject of the refusal, on the part of Colonel Levi l° ' the Commandant of th e Pl ymout h Division of Royal Marines, to alle y ' the band of that corp s t o a t tend the funeral of the late Mr. Lew i s , mate of the Royal Adelaideovhose untimely death on board that ship has bee n already noticed. Mr. J. Aylmer Paynter, of H. M. S.

Exc e ll en t h a d wr i tten to their brother o f fi cers the Royal Adelaide at Plym ou th f or a statement of what actuaAllYbee of oc curred in this respect ; t o w hi c h request the following answe r received:— H.M.S. Royal Adelaide, Plymouth, June 14, 183 8 . GENTLEmEIc—TIIC best plan of giving you a clear view of the circuwi stances of the attendance of th e M ar i ne B an d b e i ng re f use d at the fune r 7 , of our late Messmate Lewis, i s t o re l a t e to you the manne r in whicl it was asked for and refused. T wo M a t es o f t h e s hi p wen t as a deputation 3 to Colonel Lewis, wioh their C a pt a i n ' s comp li ments, a nd asked, a 5 favour, if ha would allow the M ar i ne B an d to atten d t h e r emains of th e irhr late Messmate to thegrave; to whi c h h e answere d , ncit that he would hear nor think of such a thing, a ddi ng a t th e same time, that it would be making a bad precedent. H e was me t on t h at po i n t, by their saying that it would not be making a p rece d en t , as th e Marine Band had always attended at the funeral s o f N ava l Offi cers w h o were buried w . , t n , military honours—instancing th e case o f Li eu t. Derriman, who died some months since, while bel ong i ng t o th e S an J o sef, an d at who se" funeral the Band had attended. He th en not only persisted in his re fusal, but was candid enough to say, that had he been at Plymouth the Marine Band should not have attended on that occasion. The Band of the 09th Regiment was then asked for, and was given with as much courtesy as the other was uncourteously refused. N 7 have reason to thank the 29th, not only for the Band, but for the ha nd ' some manner in which it was given. The Naval world being at AIL , " to account for such an extraordinary circumstance as the non-attend ance of the Marine Band at the funeral of a Naval Officer, have very na turally thought some point of etiquette had been violated in asking for it—never dreaming that it could be refused (if properly asked for), tO attend at the funeral of an Officer belonging to a professiOn Of which the Marine Corps is a branch. Gun-Room Officers H.M.S. Eeeellent. The Chairman resumed by observing, that on the receipt or this answer, his brother officers and himself, at this port, considered they were called upon, in the first instance, to return thair grateful thanks to Lieut.-Colonel Simpson, and the Officers of the 29th Ileglment, for th e kind manner iu which they granted the attendance of. the reginlontal band on the melancholy occasion referred t o — an d i n t h e nex t, to mark their surprise and regret that the Colonel-Co mman d an t o f the Roya l Marines should have found it necessary t o refuse permission for thel 3and of that corps to do so. In w h a t ever way th e present mee ti ng might a: press their sense of the latter, he knew the superior rank of Col o n el Lewis to themselves would nut b e l os t s i g ht o f . —(ll ear, h ea r.) He on l i spoke the sentiments also of th e w h o l e o f hi s brother officers, when h e said, that whatever comment s th ey m i g h t make upon t h e su bject, esPe cial tare would be taken to av o id any expression that cou ld imply a H. flection on the corps—(Hear, hear)—that whatever resolution the occa sion seemed to call for, sh ou ld b e so framed as to preclude the P°s sibiliti of its being construed into a censure of the corps in the most rem ote gree, or having a tendency calculated to interrupt that harmony an good understanding which existed and ought always to prev ail, between the two branches of the service. —(Hear, hear.) After sonic judicious observations from the whole of the offices; P ra t sent to the same effect, an d more particularly in con f irma ti o n of wh a t had fallen from the Chairm an — their anxiety not to say anything ths; could imply a reflection on th e corps of Royal Marines, the folleWiy resolutions were submitted and unanimously adopted : Resolved—That this meeting cannot tint express their surprise a ' regret that the Colonel C omman d ant of the Plymouth Division of ite) h l Marines should have fo un d i t necessary to rofuse permission f ur the attendance of the band of th a t corps, at the funeral of their late br°+`"" officer Mr. Lewis, of h er M a j esty ' s ship Royal Adelaide ; but hopei:t will not t en d to feelingsturb the harm ony an d good feeling which 11n1°- exists between the two branches of the Naval Service.
